The Flying Lands

When we cannot trust the sea, we sail the skies.

The Flying Lands

Above the continent of Ordelia are The Flying Lands, islands borne aloft by the precious mineral Aerozyte. These chunks of earth are carried high above the surface world by atmospheric currents that shift them in a fairly regular circular pattern known as The Gyre. Each of these flying islands has developed its own distinct culture and wildlife in the centuries since the discovery of flight, and while most of them owe nominal allegiance to the baronies of Praedam they retain a large degree of independence. Because of this, some of the islands have become home to sky-pirate dens and secretive cults.
